8:45 Creating A Unified Intelligence Environment To Help Commanders & Soldiers: The Role Of GeoInt & Multi-Int In-Theatre & In C2 Jerry Thomas, Assistant Chief of Defence Staff, Intelligence, MOD UK As Assistance Chief of Defence Staff, Intelligence, Major General Thomas is responsible for the provision of specialised intelligence, targeting and geo support and joint intelligence & security training at the UK MOD. He has command of 3700 staff involved in providing support to Intelligence Collection and wider ISTAR. His current role, experiences in operations in Iraq, Afghanistan as well as his expertise in defence intelligence make him a great source of information on the current challenges and future developments of Multi-Int support to defence forces in-theatre and C2. Defence Intelligence is a collector of intelligence through its Intelligence Collection Group (ICG) however this function is carried out mainly to support its primary role which is the conduct of ‘all-source’ intelligence analysis and assessment. This draws from a variety of overt and covert sources to provide written products and advice in support of military operations, contingency planning, and to inform defence policy and procurement decisions. The maintenance of the ability to give timely strategic warning of politico-military and scientific and technical developments with the potential to affect UK interests is a vital part of the process. DI's assessments are also used outside the MOD to support the work of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) and assist the work of other Government Departments (OGDs) and International partners (such as NATO and the European Union). It is this ‘all-source’ analysis function which distinguishes Defence Intelligence from other organisations which focus predominantly on ‘single-source’ intelligence. Jerry Thomas Assistant Chief of Defence Staff, Intelligence, MOD UK Following 9/11 Major General Thomas was deployed to US CENTCOM to take part in operational planning for Op ENDURING FREEDOM. He also attended the Higher Command and Staff Course during this tour. In January 2002 he was appointed as ACOM Ops at the FLEET HQ, where he coordinated support for 3 Commando Brigade on Op JACANA in Afghanistan. In March 2003, following a 3 month security study, he became [read more]

12:30 Strategic Approach To Using GeoInt In Intelligence Operations: The Past & The Future Eliza Manningham-Buller, Former Head, MI5 Baroness Eliza Baroness Manningham-Buller, Former Head, MI5 is joining DGI 2012 to share with you some of her secrets and ideas for making decisions in challenging times, and for winning in every operation and project that you undertake.Dame Manningham-Buller has been privy to some of the country's most carefully guarded secrets and held the lives of spies and double agents in her hands. Since taking over the MI5 reins, her working life has been dominated by the threat from al-Qaeda. Find out how at MI5 they use GeoInt, how they analyse and disseminate information, and how decisions are made based on this vital information. Specializing in counter-terrorism rather than MI5's then-classical counter-espionage, she was active at the time of the Lockerbie bombing by Libya in 1988. She worked for K-branch against the IRA. During the early 1980s she was one of only five people who knew that Oleg Gordievsky, the deputy head of the KGB at the Soviet embassy in London, was actually a double agent. She was a senior liaison working out of Washington, D.C. to the US intelligence community over the period of the first Gulf War, before leading the newly-created Irish counter-terrorism section from 1992 when MI5 were given the lead responsibility for such work (from the Metropolitan Police).On 9 November 2006, Manningham-Buller gave a speech at Queen Mary, University of London as a guest of Professor Peter Hennessy in which she warned that her office was tracking 30 terror plots, and 200 groupings or networks, totalling over 1,600 individuals.This is your unique chance to find out the details behind intelligence gathering and analysis techniques, the role of GeoInt in MI5 and the practical realities of making decisions under such enormous pressure.

Without being able to manage and leverage this data – as it changes quickly over time - organizations are finding themselves making decisions based on old information. To address this challenge, U.S. Government organizations have adopted an Enterprise Data Layer (EDL) – an infrastructure that supports secure information sharing by providing users the ability to discover and request information through a collection of flexible, reliable, high-performance interfaces and applications. It also facilitates information access and sharing for the enterprise, across communities of interests (COIs), and other systems that collect, process, exploit, analyze, and disseminate assets and their associated metadata. As information changes and new sources of information emerge, an EDL evolves to expose new methods of access and new sources of information quickly, efficiently, and without compromising existing information-sharing relationships. This session will discuss EDL work implemented by U.S. Government organizations to facilitate the discovery and dissemination of geospatial data, including human geography and open source data.

Why do drug dealers hang out on that corner? And why is police intervention effective in some cases but not others? Could we extrapolate the answers to these questions onto the insurgency groups? Using a decade of data from the Los Angeles Police Department, UC Irvine criminologist George Tita and colleagues developed a mathematical model of how urban crime hot spots form and spread. It reveals two distinct types of areas that respond differently to suppression tactics. Among other variables, the model factors in the location of crime targets – such as homes, cars and people – and the chance of getting caught, based on police presence, environmental cues and information offenders may have gleaned from previous crimes. Researchers identified two main kinds of hotspots: supercritical and subcritical. The first are formed when small spikes in such crimes as residential burglary and auto theft build up, creating a local crime wave. In the second, a large spike in crime – often drug-related – draws offenders to a central site. Join this talk to get the ideas, tools and strategy for implementing the results in a military context.

It presents the Centre's position within the structures of the European External Action Service (EAAS), and its task of providing GEOINT products to the EU's political decision makers as well as to operational commanders, both civilian and military.  The Centre provides, primarily through the analysis of data from earth observation satellites, early warning of potential and developing crises to decision-makers in order to enable timely, diplomatic, economic and humanitarian measures, including generic planning for intervention. In the interests of the EU, the Centre's products can also be supplied to the global community, like UN missions and other international security actors, in order to reinforce and broaden their information basis for both political planning and crisis management. The EUSC has been successful in achieving and further developing reliable access to the satellite imagery necessary for its work, both from governmental and commercial providers. The use of governmental satellite imagery at the Centre, including Hélios, COSMO-SkyMed, and SAR-Lupe, is further increasing the Centre's operational capability. Since the requirements of the EU´s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), and especially of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) have risen substantially over the last few years, the role of space-based intelligence continues to grow. The EU Satellite Centre is thus facing a constant evolution in the nature and variety of analytical tasks as well as of technologies at its disposal.
